Texas Public Radio Comfort Café in San Antonio sustained flood damage in July 2021. Owners say they have plans to make repairs.
Residents on the city s Northwest Side saw heavy rains this week and then they saw their homes flooded. As they clean up the mess on Dhaka View Street, some say the lack of city maintenance in their area is to blame.
City of San Antonio Public Works spokesman Paul Berry said that stretch of Leon Creek near the flooded homes underwent a major cleanup last month and was mowed in May. He said creeks and streams across the city are on a constant rotating calendar for cleanup and mowing, but the neighborhood is in a flood plain and there have been significant, recent rains.
